Pros and cons of Connexx Smart Remote app for iPhone and iPad
Connexx Smart Remote app good for
The newest release adds microphone adjustments which are tremendous! This really takes advantage of the technology.
An easy to use app with an intuitive user friendly interface. Work as advertised every time.
Allows a user to refine hearing levels to multiple situations in any environment. Keep updating this app, it works!
This works very well with my hearing aids. I like that I can discreetly change volume and settings while out in public. The only way I see this app can improve would be that it coordinates with the manual changes I make on the devices themselves when not near my iPhone. Its confusing to have the devices on a certain set of settings but the app indicates different settings. Thanks!
Some bad moments
Except the sound that it paired.
I have played with the app for many weeks now and will not be using it. Any more unless features are added that when you do Something there is feed back in the earpiece that something is happening.
If you are increasing the volume the sound of a beep in the earpiece should become louder
If you change a program you play a different sound for each one so you know which one you are on.
Simple things. Send source code I will have my high school kids do it for you.
Worst interface I have ever seen.
Worked fine. Then stopped. Tried to fix...deleted app & reinstalled, still not working at all. Very frustrating. Hearing aids are subpar w/o app.
Since upgrading to iOS 9, the program keeps popping up with a message (with every adjustment made) saying that the volume is too low. The program still works, but the constant repetition of this message gets annoying.
9/24/15 UPDATE:
The new software update has corrected this issue. Thanks to the software developers for the quick fix!
It is tricky to get app to work and stay working. First it was installed on my iPhone and it worked perfect...for two days. Then it was installed on my 2 iPads and the app worked for about two hours and stopped. Now all three devices do not work with this app. Ive tried reinstalling, re pairing etc, checking sound, wifi and so on. It seems they are unnecessarily sensitive and difficult to work with. Its really to work this app with my, but only when it works!
App needs Instructions - There is an icon in the bottom left corner of every screen - there is no explanation anywhere as to what this icon represents. If it is an on/off button, it does not work. Tapping on it appears useless.
Costco set it up for me, and it is perfect. Lost connection once, but I paired it back up and it has been working two months.
